Our new glamper!!!

I have to say I'm so excited!!! Thanks to my mom & dad, we were able to get this vintage glamper! There's a lot more room in it compared to the motor home (which we sold & used the money to buy this one). So...here she is! She doesn't have a name yet ~ but I'm sure she will before long! She needs some TLC, but she's still a beauty! I'll be posting pics of "fix ups" as I go along! I'm really excited bout fixing her up & glamping in her! Woohooo!!!
Here's us driving her through the hill country to her new home! When we left out of the parking lot of the place we bought it from, the guy says, "ya'll remind me of the couple on the Long Long Trailer"! Ha ~ I'm guessing it's because my husband's fairly dark skinned and my hair is red right now and this is a pretty long trailer!!! Not as long as their's was ~ but still!

Leaping Lizards!!!

I learned one thing today. That I am a coffee addict! I ran out of coffee and had to go w/out and had a splitting headache all day. Ugh! But...still, headache or no headache...wanted to post on my blog! =) There's a couple who lives in the RV across from us ~ James & Brenda ~ really swell people. They love Eli. They just got back from a little trip and they came over bearing a gift for Eli. She gives him popcicles n such from time to time, but this time, she gave him a lizard! He loves it! Just another bonus of glampin' in a sweet rv park.....good friends!

The G's of life....................... Garage selling, Good frinz, and of course Glamping!

I haven't been on the computer in a while! Had a very busy w/end and the past several days have been busy too. I did a little garage selling again this past w/end. We did some rearranging to our glamp spot. Winter texans are starting to move into their rv spots so we're getting new neighbors. I had a long, wonderful lunch with an old friend yesterday! Anyways...here's some pics of some things.....
Saturday morn and it's off with Matt n Eli to pick up Meg and head for the garage sales! First find of the day was this old cigar box with lots of neat old matches in it! Loved this find. All for three bucks!
The striped table cloth under the cigar box was another find for two dollars! Two shabby chic coasters for fifty cents...
All kinds of neat fabric swatches for cheap!
My favorite fabric! Three dollars! And quite a bit there ta boot!
Groovy foot stool ~ three bucks! Seemed like three dollars was the goin' price that day!
Necklace! Copper colored ~ moons ~ purple jewels ~ fifty cents!
Necklace! Vintage ~ one dollar at an estate sale. Matt also got an old gas can for a dollar fifty at the same estate sale to ride on the future roof rack of my VW Bug! Yay!!! Can't find those old gas cans cheap anywhere ~ BUT WE DID!
vintage christmas lights bought at the same estate sale ~ one dollar
Now on to some pics of some things I've done 'round the glamp spot!
Moved our gazebo over and sort of "connected" it with our awning. Using mix n match shower curtains to create curtains that enclose for privacy. We hang out and watch tv in here and can spread out cots and sleep in here! And we can just have it totally open or zipped with screens.
Walkway under awning to gazebo ~
Another view of that walkway ~
Lined my old patio chairs up along the front =) .........Well, that's it for this post. Not posting pics of lunch with a good friend! SOME things are private ya know! LOL

Labor Day W/end Fun

Well...Eli and his daddy created their own kind of fun. The pix speak for themselves...
And I found another great find at a garage sale...BIG bowl for twenty five cents ~ YAY!!!
And my cousin Billy and his girl Priscilla came for a visit. We grilled steaks, played pool and ping pong at the game room here at the RV park and joined other campers in a few games of Bingo. I won the very first game! Lol...and none after that =)
Yeah, I like that this RV park has lots of activities! Also, I like that we pay $150/mo for it ALL. That includes our spot we camp in, electric, water, internet, etc. Can't be beat! =) And today is my sister Janna's birthday! I've thought bout her a lot today. Happy Birthday Janna ~ I Love You!
